Two-day workshop aimed at sensitising policy makers, doctors and NGOs

NEW DELHI: “We attach high priority to focused development of homoeopathy and other Indian systems of medicine and in the 11th Five Year Plan the outlay for the Department of Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homoeopathy (AYUSH) has been increased,” said Union Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare Panabaka Lakshmi inaugurating a two-day workshop on “Homoeopathy for healthy mother and happy child” here.

Organised by the Department of AYUSH and the Central Council for Research in Homoeopathy as part of the National Campaign on Homoeopathy for Mother and Child Care on Monday, the initiative is aimed at sensitising policy makers, medical practitioners and non-government organisation towards increased use of homoeopathy in the care of mother and child.

Campaign launched

The Union Government has already launched a national campaign on “Ksharsutra” and plans to launch other such campaigns on specific themes relating to Ayurveda and Siddha, Unani and Yoga and Naturopathy.

Addressing the workshop, Ms. Lakshmi highlighted the growing acceptance and popularity of homoeopathy all over the world and called for its focused development.
